  • Did he get lucky?

    Hi,

    A mate of mine planted some lettuce, tomatoes & chives etc straight into grow bags outdoors the other month.

    I waited for my pots to be delivered (the starter kit free with subscribing to GYO mag, however since received a letter that there was too much demand and none left), so I could start them off indoors and I am still yet to plant them.

    My mate txt the other day saying his are growing well! Wish I'd planted mine like his now or did he just get lucky!

    Both lettuce and chives are fairly hardy and grow early in the season so there should be no problem there. I do wonder if his tomatoes will survive as there is still plenty of time for late frosts, unless he has some way of covering them up on frosty nights. In fact, he won't gain much as tomato plants don't really take off outside until the weather warms up, and unless you are enjoying better weather in Rhondda than we are here in France, I would imagine his plants are just ticking over if not suffering. I usually pot on tomatoes into larger and larger pots and only put them out when all danger of frost is over. They do very well that way.

      Lettuce & chives I can understand him getting away with it.

      If by the other month you mean back in March then IMO he has just been very lucky with the tomatoes due to the very mild spring. In an average March they would not have stood a chance.

      My garden last March.
